Activities at Marriott House and Lodge Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

The afternoon included a visit from Zoolab and this was followed by refreshments and musical entertainment from John Beever! There was lots of singing along and some impromptu dancing from residents, visitors and staff member.
Roald Dahl Day
Residents and staff celebrated the 101st birthday of cherished children’s author, Roald Dahl, on 13th September, which also happens to be Roald Dahl Day as well.
In remembrance of this great man’s life, the home hosted a number of activities in hope that everyone could feel a little bit of that Roald Dahl magic, including staff dressing up as their favourite Roald Dahl day characters.
The afternoon included some reminiscence and poetry reading with a Roald Dahl theme, followed by a film showing of ‘James and the Giant Peach’.

On Tuesday 12th September, we celebrated National Chocolate Milkshake Day with a Milkshake Madness Morning!
